About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

"Clusters of Jewish families also could be found in neighboring towns, like Calumet, Laurium, and Lake Linden which held separate services and established their own cemetery."

"Tiny congregations, like Peniel in Calumet, have disappeared".

Penuel, also known as the "face of God", is a place not far from Succoth, on the east of the Jordan and north of the river Jabbok. It is also called "Peniel" meaning "I have seen a divine being face to face, yet my life is preserved." Here Jacob wrestled (Gen. 32:24-32) "with a man" ("the angel", Hos. 12:4. Jacob says of him, "I have seen God face to face") "till the break of day."

"Almost all of the markers have been vandalized . The rough path into the cemetery is directly across the street from Niemela's Flower Farm". Alicia Marshall 2002
